I agree with the recommendations of APC. I have an APC XS 1500 for my computer room and haven't had any problems with it whatsoever.

I also have a Cyberpower BC 1200 that was purchased in January, 2006 (just now looked at the receipt). As a battery backup it works fine, but initially there was a problem with it staying connected to the PC (either USB or serial cable) so the monitoring software could, well, monitor it. I still use it on my HTPC, it will run about 20 minutes with a 52" lcd tv, a core 2 duo desktop and a surround sound receiver attached. The latest edition of the Cyberpower monitoring software includes a desktop gadget that shows current load in watts, battery state of charge and estimated runtime.

Several smaller Cyberpower units (550 or smaller) lasted only a year or two, but that was before January 2006 so I can't attest to the quality or longevity of the newest models.

I've looked at the Cyberpower ones you mentioned. Doesn't look like they're available in the UK though.

Yeah, I didn't really think about that, did I?

Here in the US, Cyberpower is generally less expensive than APC. I'm betting that APC is not cheap in the UK. Just saying that the alternatives can be pretty good if you don't want to shell out the cash.
